Release notes for HCL OneTest™ Performance

HCL OneTest™ Performance is a scripting-free environment for automating load and scalability testing of web, ERP, and server-based software applications. HCL OneTest™ Performance provides rich and customizable reporting to help you identify the presence and cause of system bottlenecks. It captures the network traffic that is rendered when the application under test interacts with a server. This network traffic is then emulated on multiple virtual users while playing back the test. See Product overview.

• Support to install and use the product in different languages

  You can now use the stand-alone installer and the product in your preferred language. You can select the preferred language for the stand-alone installer and the product by selecting the language during the installation of the product. See Installation of HCL OneTest Performance.

• Introducing the new execution agent as part of HCL OneTest™ Performance Agent installation

  An execution agent is now delivered as part of HCL OneTest™ Performance Agent. You can use this execution agent to perform the automation testing of the Windows desktop applications, mobile web, hybrid applications on iOS and Android devices. During the installation of HCL OneTest™ Performance Agent, the execution agent is installed automatically. See Installation of the Agent on Windows systems.

• Support for application performance management tools

  You can now use AppDynamics or Dynatrace applications with HCL OneTest™ Performance to enhance the data collection by adding filters based on HTTP headers that you used in tests. See Using Application Performance Management in a schedule.

• Using a JSON notation in a reference for an HTTP test

  If a request or a response contains the JSON data, then the test editor displays a value in a more readable JSON format. If you create a reference in the JSON data, you can now use the JSON notation instead of a regular expression to locate the JSON value at run time. See Creating a reference or field reference.

• Support to record tests by using the Microsoft Edge browser

  After you install HCL OneTest™ Performance either on Windows systems or Mac operating systems, you can now choose the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser to record the following tests:

  • HTTP tests

  • Citrix tests from the Citrix Web Interface

  • SAP tests when initiated from HTTP SAP-portal

  • Service tests when recorded from a browser

  See Recording an HTTP test.

• Support to the latest version of the SAP GUI client

  You can now record and play back tests of SAP applications built with the SAP GUI client V7.7.

• Bug fixes

  Fixed customer-reported and internally found defects.
